Young daughter of Frank H. Shurtleff sitting outside sugar house where sap from maple trees is boiled down into maple syrup. The Shurtleff farm has about 400 acres, and was originally purchased by grandfather in 1840. He raises sheep, cows, cuts lumber and has been making maple syrup for about thirty-five years. Sugaring brings in around one thousand dollars annually. Becasue of the deep snow this year he only tapped 1000 of his 2000 trees. He expects to make about 300 to 500 gallons this year.
